Review Policy

I review books of all types, but my favorite genres are young adult, new adult, paranormal, urban fantasy, mysteries of all types, and horror. I also like memoir and some non-fiction. Please email me at rasberryswrlgirl (at) hotmail (dot) com if you have a proposal for a book review, guest post, interview or other type of promotional post for your book. My turn around time is anywhere from a week to a month depending on my class load. When you email me, I will let you know what kind of time frame I can work with at that time.

This book is so different from anything else that I have read. I think it would make a good movie. It's very edge of your seat and keeps you guessing. I also found it to be super creepy. Imagine if someone was calling you and knew everything about you - making problems in your life until you have no choice but to participate in a sick and twisted game. Imagine if you didn't know who you really are. These are things two of the characters in the book are going through. The book is pretty intense in parts. There is a bit of romance thrown in, and a weird paranormal twist.

The book also raises questions about reality TV and the lengths that these types of shows go to to exploit people for the purpose of entertainment. It also makes you take a look at how you the reader look at these shows.

This is the first book I've read by Shane Scollins but it will not be the last. I can't wait to see what else this guy has written!

Book covers are a vitally important part of your book. They
are the first thing readers will see. They are the first impression of your
work. And as much as we want to believe in that old saying that you can’t judge
a book by its cover, we simply know from a marketing standpoint, that’s not
even close to true.

The craziest part is that in this new publishing landscape
book covers are even more important. The cover has never been more critical than
it is right now. There are more books available and a greater need to
distinguish yours from the pack.

Self-publishing and eReaders have put more choices in front
of readers than there has ever been before. And at the same time readers are
devouring books at a rate they never have. Setting your book apart from the
pack is not easy, and at this stage, at the very least, you need to have a
cover that will get that second look. It needs to be clean and professional.

Unless your name is King, Koontz, Patterson, Stewart or
Roberts, your story is going to need a great cover. Those few big names can
just put their name on the cover, some swirly sky colors next to a tree, and
end up selling the lights out. Unfortunately, that won’t work for most of us.

The rest of us need a great cover that evokes the emotion of
the shopper. Because lets face it, no matter how great the writing is, if the
cover is horrible, no one is going to know it.

I have seen firsthand the difference a great cover can make.
My publisher, Limitless Publishing, is putting out some of the best book covers
on the market, period. And the cover is the window into your book. If people
don’t want to look thorough the window, it won’t matter how cool the view
inside is.
